About Allen Brouwer:

Allen currently operates 2 businesses (and admits, depending on when you read this, he may be dabbling in a few more). He's the owner and operator of AKB Enterprise, and also wears the hat of “creative director.” At AKB, he focuses on getting results for clients through online marketing strategies while leveraging a small team of contractors.

Allen is also the co-founder of BestSelf.co. He helps people get the most out of their lives, gain control of their future, & bring more freedom to their jam-packed world.

Having recorded the heartbreaking and difficult ‘valleys' of entrepreneurship in 2015, Allen now shares these videos with the world to encourage other small business owners to press on, and encourage them to find focus and clarity on their path to success. His “Rock Bottom” video specifically details the day he made a fundamental shift. After that day, Allen says the small wins started coming. He was able to leave his job and focus on his start-ups which led to multiple successes in business.

“It’s time to elevate from business operator to business owner.”
